Too Afraid to Ask

Stone chips are tiny dents or scratches on your car’s paint that happen when stones hit the surface. They’re usually just cosmetic, but if they get deep it can start rusting.

Technical Definition

Stone chips are small, shallow dents or scratches on a vehicle’s paint caused by road debris. They can lead to rust if the protective clear coat is compromised.
